Very good indeed. I especially like the way his death was handled, given this is purportedly an autobiography.
I had a week's holiday at a Folk Dance Festival. I also read quite a lot:
A Killing Frost and
When Sorrows Come in Seanan McGuire's October Daye series. Excellent, as expected. Each novel has a definite, complete story in it, while still being part of a bigger series-level story.
Magic for Nothing,
Tricks for Free and
That Ain't Witchcraft also by Seanan McGuire, in her Incryptid series. Also excellent, as expected. A view from another member of the Price family.
Ice Blue by Emma Jameson. A mixture of police procedural and romance, that was pretty good. I have the rest of the series on my watch list.
Few are Chosen by M. T. McGuire - a freebie from some time ago. Comic fantasy that is good in parts. My main complaint is that this is really just the first part of a big story, not a story in itself. I won't bother getting any more.
And now I'm reading
Fatal Legacy by Lindsey Davis, the most recent one (AFAIK) in her Flavia Albia series.
